Amazon.com Product Description
Protect your hearing and listen to music at the same time. Whether you are at the job site, in the workshop, or mowing the lawn, you may be putting your hearing at risk, or at the very least putting up with irritating noise. Regular earplugs are uncomfortable and prevent you from listening to music while you work. WorkTunes' hearing protectors offer a high level of hearing defense as well as let you replace the irritating noise with your favorite AM or FM radio station. And while many stereo headsets have volume levels that can damage hearing, this set has a maximum volume level of 85 decibels, lower than the threshold of danger.

 Music to pass the time May 22, 2008
This is my second Peltor Worktunes,both have worked great at work. This sure is a great way to make the work day go by faster and keep up with the news and weather while working. When my first one finally broke I was lost without it.

It was a gift for my husband. He uses it to protect his ears and listen to music at the same time. He uses it every time, so I'd say it's worth the money.
Radio Headset May 4, 2008
Product arrived quickly and has performed well - it's not hifi, but is fine for listening to a ballgame while mowing the lawn, working around hobby shop, etc.
 great for keeping sanity doing drone work May 4, 2008
I am a carpenter of 25 to 30 years experience and if not for these types of headsets maybe I'd have lost my mind years ago. Not that I don't like my job but I like a little mental stimulation once in awhile. I tune into mostly NPR stations and a little music on the side and when working long stretches of repetitive stuff this melts the hours down to size. I had the previous yellow ones with cruder switches and tuning and comparatively there's some pluses and drawbacks. Both had low noise/good suppression and newer ones have easier tuning and easier turn on/off switch (old ones had a separate switch from volume control that had to be held in to turn on.
Downsides: newer model (not digital) has cleaner lines, but weaker battery compartment. It'll break, count on it, as other construction guys warned me. Ended up using duct tape to hold batteries in. Drop it a few times and batteries will fall out and lid will degrade (old ones had screw-on lid). Liners seemed longer lasting this time. Old one shredded sooner. Battery life seems pretty decent on either model..often weeks before changing w/ about 4 hours a day use.
Now, this is the older model but the price has come down from the initial 50 bucks I paid. Careful, don't pay anymore than what's offered here as big box stores are still trying to get 50 bucks for 'em while selling newer digital ones for 50.
I am thinking of the newer ones as the wires seem to be giving way and shorting out on these and I really wish for the digital tuner.. but heard similar complaints about poor tuning (True! Some stations you'll not get even if easily received in your car/truck radio_). Also knobs easy to catch on something and throw your station off. But all in all most stations will come in and it's a good sound. Battery cover looks like it'll break on newer ones too. Give em a year of constant use and expect to get a new pair....unless a little soldering 'n duct tape is used.
Also there is one called the Peltor Alert that is over twice as much as the new digital one but it'll let in sounds from outside while still protecting your ears. But I wonder if it's analog dial radio has better reception than the poorish reception the other models have? Without the additional mic-ed sound intake on the more expensive Alerts, You'll feel isolated at times and expect grief from using this model from co-workers, mates that are trying to call you and you're obliviously quietly listening to the radio. So I am considering the Alerts that allow some outside warnings in (thus called "Alert".) About 110 dollars for those suckers..but hope the reception is better (about as bad as those Bosch cube radio/chargers that have similar problems). \
all in all Peltor makes awesome goods.
